GOAL! Young Boys 1-4 Atalanta (Retegui 39')

GOAL! Bayern 1-0 PSG (Kim 40')

The away fans are making most of the noise in Barcelona – Brest have brought 5,000-odd supporters with them, while a large section of Barça ultras are not present tonight after a dispute over a fine for offensive chants last season. Still 1-0 there …

PSG are growing into the game, with Barcola and Dembele causing some problems. When do you think Harry Kane’s going to score the opener? I’ll say 56 minutes.

Arsenal almost get in again down the right side, but the cross is poked away from danger with Saka lurking. At the Etihad, Feyenoord are starting to make some forays forward after keeping City’s attackers at arm’s length.

GOAL! Young Boys 1-3 Atalanta (Kolasinac 32')

GOAL! Leverkusen 3-0 Salzburg (Wirtz 30')

GOAL! Young Boys 1-2 Atalanta (De Ketelaere 29')

GOAL! Inter 1-0 RB Leipzig (Lukeba og 27')

GOAL! Sporting 0-2 Arsenal (Havertz 21')

Arsenal have had to absorb a bit of pressure since going ahead, but they get upfield again here and Partey sends a low shot into the keeper’s arms …

After that flurry, a moment of calm – although Bayern are knocking, Sané’s shot saved at the near post by Safonov, starting ahead of Donnarumma tonight. At the Etihad, City keep pouring forward but without much coherence or conviction just yet.

GOALS! Young Boys 1-1 Atalanta

GOAL! Leverkusen 2-0 Salzburg (Grimaldo 11')

GOAL! Barcelona 1-0 Brest (Lewandowski pen 8')

GOAL! Leverkusen 1-0 Salzburg (Wirtz pen 9')

GOAL! Sporting 0-1 Arsenal (Martinelli 7')

Arsenal on the front foot early against a compact-looking Sporting defence. No goals anywhere in Europe, although Leverkusen have a penalty, awarded on VAR review after one of those ricochet handballs …

At the Camp Nou Montjuic, Ajorque puts a half-decent chance for Brest wide early on. At the Etihad, Gundogan sees his mid-range shot deflected behind.

Peep!

It’s dangerously close to go time in the seven 8pm Champions League kick-offs. In the Championship, Norwich lead Plymouth and Sheffield United are a goal up at home to Oxford.

“That Arsenal team looking very strong,” writes Bill Hargreaves. “The likes of Nwaneri, Jesus and Sterling on the bench. Could see them doing well this evening and in this competition.”

Charles Antaki says: “That looks a very good Arsenal team. Declan Rice reinstated, and of course the silky schemer Martin Ødegaard back and on top form. Of course that inevitably means, for the ever-anxious Arsenal fan, coming home with their tails between their legs. So, a draw.”

“Is the Ibrahimovic on the bench for Bayern related to Zlatan?” asks Mike Jakeman. Sadly not – but Arijon Ibrahimovic could become a star in his own right. The attacking midfielder is one of Bayern’s brightest youth prospects, and is trying to win a place in Vincent Kompany’s squad after recent injury.

It’s finished Slovan Bratislava 2-3 Milan, the Slovak side staying bottom of the pile with no points from five games. They gave it a good go here, though – unlike Sparta Prague, who have been gubbed 6-0 by Atlético Madrid.

Those results mean Atlético and Milan sit ninth and 10th respectively, breathing down Aston Villa’s necks in the battle for the top eight.

There are also seven Championship games this evening, plus a bumper League One line-up, and Hibs v Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership. I will endeavour to keep you updated, but our live feed is also at your service.

Milan are taking care of business in Bratislava, with Rafael Leão putting them 2-1 up before Tammy Abraham pounced on a woeful backpass to make it three. Up the road in Prague, it’s Sparta 0-4 Atlético, Álvarez (again) and Griezmann adding the second-half goals.

A notable name on the Atlético scoresheet: Júlian Álvarez, who left Manchester City in the summer but has had a slow start to life in Madrid. He’s certainly been missed by Pep Guardiola’s side, who are bidding to end a run of five (!) straight defeats at home to Feyenoord:

It’s half-time in the 5.45pm (GMT) kick-offs, taking place in Czechia and Slovakia. Atlético Madrid lead Sparta Prague 2-0, while Slovan Bratislava are holding Milan to a 1-1 draw.
